After we finished up at the beach we checked into the hotel. These kids (all kids?) love staying in a hotel! Something about the swimming pools and ice machines I think... at least I remember those being highlights when I was a kid. :) So as soon as we unloaded the car they were stripped down and in their bathing suits ready to head to the pool. Emma & TJ are much more pool kids than ocean kids. They love getting in the "cold pool" (only on the steps) and then hurrying over to get in the "hot pool." Back and forth, over & over. The hot tub always wins out though. They are definitely children of creature comforts.
After swimming we went back to the room for a "hotel picnic" with sandwiches we had packed at home. Hey.... it's a recession. Gotta cut costs where we can! The babies (& even Kayla) thought it was cool to have a picnic on the beds, something they would never get to do at home. Next it was time for baths and then movie night. I brought the laptop with us so we could watch a DVD and we had a big bag of candy and goody snacks. The kids were thrilled. Mikayla chose to do some reading during this time as well. That girl always has a book in her hands but especially now as she is competing in an AR contest at school & is currently in the lead! She read almost 2 whole books this weekend!
